Great pocket camera that overheats often
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ZV-1 is a great pocket camera for photos and short videos. The standout feature, a one-touch Bokeh Switch, takes the guess work out of creating a shallow depth-of-field to produce a defocused background. However, the camera tends to overheat often when recording in 4K.

DO NOT BUY-HEATS UP WITH MINIMAL USE & MORE
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to get this camera due to the specifications which met my needs perfectly. However, I just started using the camera and it just shut down because "the internal temperature needs to cool down." I did not even realize it was heating because its on the tripod and the craziest part I used it to maybe 15 minutes. A brand new camera, and the first time I use it that to minimally and it's heating up, absolutely appalling. I felt the camera and it was hot. DO NOT BUY! I used it for 2-3 minutes initially when I bought it and no issues. So I did not return it and now my return period is over.Now I am stuck with this horrible camera. Sony you really disappointed me with this. Do not get this camera even if someone gifts it to you or you find it on the floor, trust me you are better off without it. Get another camera.

Excellent

I would recommend this to a friendTerrible - Shuts off after 5 minutes (overheating)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible. This product should be listed as fraudulent. Advertised as a vlogers camera - cannot stay on for more than 5 minutes without overheating. If you are a vlogger and use a Mac - like 99% of the creative world - THIS WILL NOT SYNC UP WITH YOUR MAC - you cannot use it as a vlogers camera. 1) it'll over heat in 5 minutes so talk fast and 2) you are required to use Sony's software and it makes everything look like a claymation. The quality of the video when importing to your computer, looks about 85% worse than the view finder Quality - it looks worse than an iPhone 12. Low light is unusable and looks over exposed and grainy. Color accuracy... either the sky is white or this camera sucks. There's minor adjustments you can make, but it takes a long time to adjust and has next to no smart features - this camera is almost 100% manual usage for adjustments. There's no preset or automation on it, focusing struggles all the time in all setting. If you use studio lights of any sort (LED's), the refresh rate cannot be adjusted to avoid lines on a screen. In adjusting the refresh rate. Battery Life- maybe 15 minutes when recording. You cannot plug it in and use it forever - 1) it'll overheat in 5 minutes - 2) the batter still drains even when plugged in and recording. Eventually you have to sit and wait for a while to recharge it if you do not have a spare. So if you read this far and still want this camera - buy like 15 $40 batteries - you will need every single one... also a portable freezer to cool it off would be good. Picture quality as a camera is horrendous. it really struggles to focus. All photos came out fuzzy/blurry when not using a tripod - shutter adjustments did nothing. PLEASE NOTE - This is my 3rd ZV-1 I've tested - the first two had the EXACT same issue - I was assured by Sony that it was just a bad device... it is not. This is a $750 paper weight that turns on and off.

Good quality, but doesn’t record long.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the quality of the video, but when you record in 4k it shuts off every 4-5 minutes. I tried searching how to fix it, but still no fix to the problem.
